Both types of communications have their advantages and disadvantages; 
I don't think anybody is suggesting we get rid of the e-mail lists, 
but the more real-time IRC might be useful as an additional form of 
communication for those who wish to use it.

The Mozilla browser comes with an IRC client, incidentally; click on 
the "CZ" (Chatzilla) icon in the bottom bar if you're using it, or 
type "irc:" into the address bar.  ( http://www.mozilla.org/ )

Incidentally, your e-mail messages are malformatted; they don't have 
proper line breaks.  See my article on e-mail line length:
